D’Alembert’s Dynamic Conceptions

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 147 –151

[D’Alembert published his Traité de Dynamique in 1743, when he was 26 years old. It was here where he expounded his ideas about dynamics, including what is known as his “general principle”. This is enunciated in the second part of the Traité, but the general ideas are in the first one.]

Forces and Fluids in the Essay

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 153 –159

[The term force is one of the most widely employed in the Essay, more than two hundred and fifty times, only surpassed by the word pressure. Considering d’Alembert’s warning that he would only use the word force in order to avoid circumlocution, this repetition seems somewhat surprising.]

Brief Analysis of the Contents of the Essay

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 161 –166

[Our main intention is to highlight the genuine contribution of d’Alembert to Fluid Mechanics. Therefore, instead of running through the Essay article by article, we have preferred to extract the core contribution and to bring it clearly to the light. Nevertheless this does not mean that we have...

The Essay’s Introduction

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 169 –171

[We have divided the Introduction in seven clearly differentiated parts.]
LitStream

The Preliminaries

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 173 –186

[As we have already commented, d’Alembert presents the general principle of dynamics in a somewhat different way from the Traité de Dynamique [§.1].]

Resistance of a Body Moving in a Fluid

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 187 –220

[This is the core of the Essay and Chaps 4 and 5 deal with it. We prefer to take this matter as a whole, leaving for a posterior analysis the parts of these chapters not clearly connected to the subject. This manner of dealing with it tries focus on the more essential items, which in our opinion...

Other Resistances and Fluids

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 221 –229

[The resistance analysed until now comes from the transfer of momentum between fluid and body and it can be understood as being derived from the inertia of matter. However, the authors knew that there were other sources of resistance related to the properties of the fluids, as yet not well known,...
LitStream

Experiments and Theories

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 231 –241

[D’Alembert quotes experimenters in several places in the Essay using the results of their experiments in his own reflections as we have already seen. There are also mentions in the Introduction, but apart from this, he adds a complete section [§.75–79] concerning experimenters under the title...

Other Motions

Simón Calero, Julián

Pages: 243 –256

[Under this title three type of motions are included, the flow in a vessel, the river currents and the jet against a plate; they all are somewhat related to the general theory. Furthermore we add the motion by plane sections, although we have found it difficult to classify.]
